I have instructed a Melbourn conveyancer having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Melbourn surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
How does conveyancing in Melbourn differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Melbourn come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Melbourn tend to buy 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 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 Melbourn or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Melbourn prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not issue a loan on this type of premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Melbourn. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Melbourn especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Melbourn.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years remaining on my flat in Melbourn. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the freeholder. On the whole a specialist should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Melbourn.
