I am buying a new build flat in Swinton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Swinton
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Swinton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Swinton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
What does commercial conveyancing in Swinton cover?
Non domestic conveyancing in Swinton covers a broad array of advice, offered by qualified solicitors, relating to business property. For example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the assignment of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Swinton
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Swinton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
One month into purchasing a residence in Swinton. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Should this impact our home loan valuation?
Swinton conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a material impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your solicitor.
