How does conveyancing in Almondsbury differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Almondsbury contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Almondsbury tend to purchase the land, 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 Almondsbury or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Almondsbury I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Almondsbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the sale of our £200,000 apartment in Almondsbury next Thursday. The freeholder has quoted £336 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Almondsbury?

For most leasehold sales in Almondsbury conveyancing will involve, questions about the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Completing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Almondsbury Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Almondsbury leasehold property is £350. For Almondsbury conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide the information.

Almondsbury Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Questions you should consider before buying

    Can you tell me if there are any major works in the near future that could increase the maintenance fees? If a Almondsbury lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be legally able to exercise a lease extension. Who takes responsibility for maintaining and repairing the building?

At what point do I pay stamp duty payable for my Almondsbury property purchase?

The majority of conveyancers will fill out a Land Transaction Return Form for you as part of your Almondsbury conveyancing transaction for you to sign. After completion your property lawyer will submit your Land Transaction Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - assuming they have the money - settle any Stamp Duty due for you.
