The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Wedmore. Some people will purchase a house in Wedmore, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property.

How does conveyancing in Wedmore differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Wedmore approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Wedmore 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 Wedmore or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Wedmore I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wedmore suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I only have 72 years left on my flat in Wedmore. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What should I do?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent may be useful to carry out a search and prepare a report to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Wedmore.
