How does conveyancing in Gorton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Gorton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Gorton usually purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Gorton or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Gorton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Gorton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I have been advised by two or three local selling agents in Gorton to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Gorton. I happened to discover a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all formalities done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
