How does conveyancing in Redbridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Redbridge contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Redbridge tend to purchase 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 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 Redbridge or who has acted in the same development.

If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were content that must outweigh using an unknown Redbridge conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
I wish to sublet my leasehold apartment in Redbridge. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Even though your last Redbridge conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
