How does conveyancing in Abergele differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Abergele contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Abergele typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Abergele or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Abergele with the aim of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Abergele can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ representatives. Many landlords or Management Companies in Abergele charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Abergele. A minority of Abergele leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Abergele leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand do not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer first. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and slows down many a Abergele home move. Where a new share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible.
