Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Timsbury costs more?

Timsbury leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Timsbury?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Timsbury. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Timsbury before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Timsbury. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Timsbury to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Timsbury and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Timsbury. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Timsbury area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Timsbury. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Timsbury

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Timsbury conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.

Should I cancel the direct debit for my mortgage with Leeds Building Society once a completion date for my home sale in Timsbury has been agreed?

No, you should continue paying any mortgage sums to Leeds Building Society until the mortgage is repaid on completion as part of your Timsbury conveyancing.
