How does conveyancing in Morpeth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Morpeth come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Morpeth 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Morpeth or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Morpeth I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Morpeth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Morpeth. I have land on a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Morpeth. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal as all rents and service charges will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.
