How does conveyancing in Waterlooville differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Waterlooville come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Waterlooville typically purchase 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 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 Waterlooville or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Waterlooville I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Waterlooville suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My uncle purchased his flat in Waterlooville ten years ago. He has since got married, widowed and has recently remarried. He will be selling the flat next January. I believe he will just be asked to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the solicitor however he is worried it will hold up the sale of the property. Should he appoint a property lawyer to update the Land Registry information for the house?
The is no need to bring up to date the title for the property providing you have the evidence required to show how the change of name occurred.
Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner will examine the title entries and request evidence by way of proof of the name change for example marriage certificates.
