How does conveyancing in Irlam and Cadishead differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Irlam and Cadishead come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Irlam and Cadishead tend to purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Irlam and Cadishead or who has acted in the same development.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Irlam and Cadishead where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Irlam and Cadishead conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to 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 for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.
