As someone with no idea as to the Box conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the home moving process in Box
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Box or throughout Wiltshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially a lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Box should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a worrying emergence of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor ahead of the other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
How does conveyancing in Box differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Box contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Box tend to acquire 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 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 Box or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Box I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Box suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price 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 ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
