I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Southwick. What can be done to accelerate the buying process?
In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and know-how. It is even conceivable that they may have handled previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Southwick conveyancing firm. Second, check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is claimed that 18% of Southwick conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the conveyancing being delayed by almost 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Almost all Southwick conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Southwick.
