How does conveyancing in Greenhithe differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Greenhithe approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Greenhithe tend to buy 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 Greenhithe or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Greenhithe I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Greenhithe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Due to exchange soon on a basement flat in Greenhithe. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they report fully next week. What should I be looking out for?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Greenhithe should include some of the following:

    Are pets allowed in the flat? What options are available to the landlord where you breach a clause of your lease? The total extent of the demise. This might be the property itself but might incorporate a roof space or storage are if applicable. You should receive a copy of the lease
For details of the information to be contained in your report on your leasehold property in Greenhithe please enquire of your conveyancer in ahead of your conveyancing in Greenhithe.

We have reached the end of our tether in negotiating a lease extension in Greenhithe. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Greenhithe conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Greenhithe property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case was in relation to 13 flats. The unexpired lease term was 76 years.

My hope is to acquire a ground floor maisonette in Greenhithe. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the owner, building insurance schedule. Earlier today I was advised that the owner must send the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why does my property lawyer want to check the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly necessary? We have been waiting for the last month…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Greenhithe to find Conveyancing in Greenhithe in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the complete property - which is definitely better. Do clarify with your conveyancer but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is attempting to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance.
