How does conveyancing in Spitalfields differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Spitalfields contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Spitalfields tend to 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 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 Spitalfields or who has acted in the same development.

I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Spitalfields both have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Spitalfields. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

Me and my fiance are expecting to complete on the purchase a house in Spitalfields but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the current proprietors of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the mortgage company will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
The lawyer listed on the bank conveyancing panel is obliged to inform the bank of any amendments to the sale amount. In the event that you prohibit your lawyer to notify the price change to your lender then they would have no choice but to discontinue acting for you and the lender.
