I am considering applying for a Principality mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Frinton On Sea with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Principality ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Principality will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Frinton On Sea?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Frinton On Sea. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am buying a new build apartment in Frinton On Sea. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Frinton On Sea
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Frinton On Sea I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Frinton On Sea 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 the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Frinton On Sea
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Frinton On Sea conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
What makes a Frinton On Sea lease problematic?
Leasehold conveyancing in Frinton On Sea is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. 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 Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, The Mortgage Works, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
