- Try to convince your Skipton Building Society based solicitor to attempt to join the Skipton Building Society panel
How does conveyancing in Barlaston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Barlaston approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Barlaston typically buy the site, 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 Barlaston or who has acted in the same development.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Barlaston and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, giving them the right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

There are only Seventy years unexpired on my lease in Barlaston. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the freeholder. On the whole a specialist would be useful to try and locate and to produce an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Barlaston.
