How does conveyancing in Dinas Powys differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Dinas Powys approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Dinas Powys typically buy 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 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 Dinas Powys or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I may need to rent out our Dinas Powys 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Dinas Powys conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Dinas Powys do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
