How does conveyancing in Hackbridge differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Hackbridge contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Hackbridge usually buy 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 Hackbridge or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Hackbridge ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on this type of premises.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Hackbridge. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all ground rent and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I inherited a ground floor flat in Hackbridge. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium due for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the price.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Hackbridge property is 21 & 23 Carshalton Grove in May 2009. the Tribunal adopted the figures presented as the premiums payable by the Applicant i.e. a total of £20,750. This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 72 years.
