I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Warsash off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
My offer on a house in Warsash has been accepted, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Warsash. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Warsash conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
How does conveyancing in Warsash differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Warsash approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Warsash tend to purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Warsash or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Warsash prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Warsash. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Warsash to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
