How does conveyancing in Aperfield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Aperfield approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Aperfield typically buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Aperfield or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Aperfield I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Aperfield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Aperfield. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual as all rents and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
