How does conveyancing in Cinderford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Cinderford come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Cinderford typically purchase 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cinderford or who has acted in the same development.

Please note that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Cinderfordlease extensions you would need to own the premises for 24 months before you are entitled to exercise a lease extension. How many years remain on the lease? Its a good idea to find out as much as you can concerning the company managing the building as they will either make your living at the property much easier or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you will be at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to every day issues such as the upkeep of the communal areas. Don't be shy to ask prospective neighbours what they think of their management. Finally, find out the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the managing agents and precisely how they are spending the funds.
We are midway through purchasing a house in Cinderford. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our mortgage valuation?
Cinderford conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the saleability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your lawyer.
