How does conveyancing in Belmont differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Belmont approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Belmont tend to purchase the real estate, 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 Belmont or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Belmont is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Belmont are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Belmont you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Belmont may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

The benefit of a high street Belmont conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Belmont know how is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Belmont conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Belmont. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Belmont do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
