Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Sheerness. There are those who purchase a property in Sheerness, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises.

How does conveyancing in Sheerness differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Sheerness come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Sheerness usually acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sheerness or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Sheerness from the point of view of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Sheerness can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Sheerness leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Should you fail to have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share document. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Sheerness home move. If a reissued share certificate is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check via your lawyers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is below 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
