How does conveyancing in Pinner Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pinner Green come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Pinner Green usually buy 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 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 Pinner Green or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Pinner Green from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Pinner Green can be reduced if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. 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 particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming formality and delays many a Pinner Green home move. If a duplicate share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Pinner Green leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. If you dont have the approvals to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer before hand.
