Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Conisbrough costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Conisbrough and elsewhere usually involve extra due diligence compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord about serving appropriate notices, procuring current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.
How does conveyancing in Conisbrough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Conisbrough approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Conisbrough typically 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 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 Conisbrough or who has acted in the same development.
