How does conveyancing in Heath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Heath approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Heath tend to 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 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 Heath or who has acted in the same development.
We are one month into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the selling agent to carry out the conveyancing in Heath. I am am very frustrated with the quality of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?
A conveyancer would have to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid added costs and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Heath where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Heath conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
