How does conveyancing in Rendlesham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rendlesham approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Rendlesham tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Rendlesham or who has acted in the same development.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Rendlesham?

Rendlesham conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often requires the purchaser’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
