How does conveyancing in Tooting differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tooting contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Tooting typically acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Tooting or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Tooting which have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
