Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Great Harwood

My grandson is purchasing a new build apartment in Great Harwood with a home loan from Bank of Ireland. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I got the keys to my house on 4 June and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Great Harwood expressed confidence that it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Great Harwood particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Great Harwood registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

How does conveyancing in Great Harwood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Great Harwood contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Great Harwood usually acquire the land, 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 Great Harwood or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Great Harwood I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Great Harwood for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Hoping to buy a property located in Great Harwood and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Great Harwood. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Great Harwood area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
