2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Hyde Park completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase.

How does conveyancing in Hyde Park differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Hyde Park approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Hyde Park typically purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hyde Park or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Hyde Park prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

    Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage.

Hyde Park Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    How many years are left on the lease? Make sure you enquire if there are any onerous restrictions in the lease. For example it is fairly common in Hyde Park leases that pets are not permitted in certain buildings in Hyde Park. If you like the propertyin Hyde Park however your cat is not allowed to make the move with you then you will be presented with a hard decision. Are there any major works anticipated that will add a premium to the service fees?

Our lawyer in Hyde Park has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Hyde Park. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that as he is on the bank conveyancing panel he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company?

Just because you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will be meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage.
