How does conveyancing in Leamouth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Leamouth approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Leamouth typically acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Leamouth or who has acted in the same development.

If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Leamouth leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Where you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance. A minority of Leamouth leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
