Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Eynsham is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Eynsham and Oxfordshire usually necessitates additional hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord about serving appropriate notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining the landlord’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 – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first entered into.

How does conveyancing in Eynsham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Eynsham come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Eynsham usually 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 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 Eynsham or who has acted in the same development.
