How does conveyancing in Selsdon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Selsdon come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Selsdon tend to acquire 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 Selsdon or who has acted in the same development.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Selsdon from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Selsdon can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Selsdon leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. If you dont have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Selsdon levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Selsdon. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming process and delays many a Selsdon home move. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible.
