How does conveyancing in Rainhill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rainhill approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Rainhill usually buy the real estate, 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 Rainhill 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 near me in Rainhill I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Rainhill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I'm remortgaging my current house to a BTL loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further property. The area we are talking about is Rainhill. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?
Make use of our comparison tool on this page to ensure that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are your lawyer should be able to connect the two transactions but you should talk with you solicitor and communicate your desired outcome and needs.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Rainhill
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Rainhill conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
