I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out property in West Cross by 13/10/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your lease unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the sellers solicitors, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will look to achieve
I am planning on selling our property in West Cross and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street West Cross conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in West Cross. We have lived in West Cross for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in West Cross. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in West Cross
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in West Cross I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Cross for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
