How does conveyancing in Moorends differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Moorends approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Moorends tend to buy 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 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 used 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 leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Moorends I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Moorends for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Moorends. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as usual as all ground rent and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
