The sellers of the house we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing firm in Newent who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of arrangement is not the norm in Newent, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equate the financial benefit that the owner may secure by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.
How does conveyancing in Newent differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Newent come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Newent usually 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 Newent or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Newent I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newent in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Newent has sent documents to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all property in Newent should be registered?
It is unusual for property in Newent not to be registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Newent conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty exists the conventional advice nowadays seems to be for the current owners to address the registration formalities first and then deal with the transfer to the buyer - this will have a knock on effect to result in a significant delay.
