How does conveyancing in Wilton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wilton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Wilton tend to purchase 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 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 Wilton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Wilton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wilton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Wilton to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your services ahead of 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 members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Wilton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Wilton, conveyancing having been completed May 2005. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Wilton with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2094
You have 69 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
