How does conveyancing in Tickhill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Tickhill contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Tickhill usually acquire 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 Tickhill or who has acted in the same development.
Should I be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Tickhill conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend lawyers to choose. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
I've recently bought a leasehold house in Tickhill. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
