How does conveyancing in Flintshire differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Flintshire contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Flintshire 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 Flintshire or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Flintshire with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Flintshire can be avoided if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
  • If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Flintshire leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Where you dont have the consents in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in advance. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Flintshire levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Flintshire. Some Flintshire leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you have the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming process and slows down many a Flintshire conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
