How does conveyancing in Ruislip Manor differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ruislip Manor come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Ruislip Manor tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ruislip Manor or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Ruislip Manor I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ruislip Manor in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Ruislip Manor to find a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than another?
We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
