How does conveyancing in Westbury On Trym differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Westbury On Trym approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Westbury On Trym tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Westbury On Trym or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Westbury On Trym I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Westbury On Trym for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Westbury On Trym

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Westbury On Trym conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.

Our financial adviser has recommended their conveyancer for the conveyancing in Westbury On Trym - won’t it be easier to just use them?
