How does conveyancing in Cranford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cranford come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Cranford usually 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 Cranford or who has acted in the same development.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Cranford. I have land on a web site which seems to have the perfect offering If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years remaining on my lease in Cranford. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to find the freeholder. For most situations a specialist may be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be used as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Cranford.
