How does conveyancing in Weston super Mare differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Weston super Mare come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Weston super Mare 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.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Weston super Mare

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Weston super Mare conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.

Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold house in Weston super Mare. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Weston super Mare who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Weston super Mare conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I own a garden flat in Weston super Mare, conveyancing having been completed in 2011. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?

The lease ends on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as costs.

You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
