Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Barton Seagrave contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Barton Seagrave usually 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 conveyancers 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 Barton Seagrave or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Barton Seagrave prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a loan on this type of premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Barton Seagrave. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Barton Seagrave. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Barton Seagrave ?

Most houses in Barton Seagrave are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Barton Seagrave so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Barton Seagrave conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the freeholder’sconsent to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is located on an estate. Your conveyancer will appraise you on the various issues.

I purchased a 2 bed flat in Barton Seagrave, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding flats in Barton Seagrave with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2083

You have 58 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
