How does conveyancing in Sutton on Trent differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Sutton on Trent approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Sutton on Trent tend to 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 Sutton on Trent or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Sutton on Trent in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on this type of house.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Sutton on Trent where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Sutton on Trent conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Sutton on Trent, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Sutton on Trent with an extended lease are worth £192,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079

With 54 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
