Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Moorends

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Moorends conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Moorends.

How does conveyancing in Moorends differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Moorends approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Moorends usually 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 Moorends or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Moorends I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Moorends suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Moorends with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Moorends can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ representatives.
    • Many landlords or Management Companies in Moorends levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Moorends. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled. A minority of Moorends leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual 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. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Moorends leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such works. Should you fail to have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer first.
