Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Sandhurst costs more?
The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Sandhurst is inevitably more expensive as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the additional investigations required in dealing with the landlord and managing agents to collate the information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Sandhurst off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Sandhurst differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Sandhurst contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Sandhurst typically 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 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 Sandhurst or who has acted in the same development.
