How does conveyancing in Coombe Warren differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Coombe Warren contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Coombe Warren typically 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 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 Coombe Warren 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 close by in Coombe Warren I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Coombe Warren suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should trump using an unknown Coombe Warren conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.

What are the common defects that you see in leases for Coombe Warren properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Coombe Warren. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, The Mortgage Works, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
