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 builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Westbury On Trym usually acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Westbury On Trym or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Westbury On Trym I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Westbury On Trym for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I have been recommended by two or three local estate agents in Westbury On Trym to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your services over a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
