four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Baschurch took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Baschurch differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Baschurch come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Baschurch usually 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 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 Baschurch or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Baschurch I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Baschurch suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
