Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Malden Rushett?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Malden Rushett. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Malden Rushett differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Malden Rushett come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Malden Rushett 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Malden Rushett or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking at a couple of apartments in Malden Rushett which have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Malden Rushett is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the property. For most buyers and lenders, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Malden Rushett conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I am the proprietor of a two-bedroom flat in Malden Rushett. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for the purchase of the freehold?
if there is a absentee landlord or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the premium.

We have today had a bid accepted on our first home in Malden Rushett, and need to get solicitors instructed. I have made use of the different comparison based websites and the fee estimates are from all across the England and Wales. Is it important to have a Malden Rushett conveyancing practitioner local to your prospective property? We are content to do all the communicating electronically, but I am thinking at some point we may be required to attend the property lawyer's office to sign documents?
