As part of the process, the vendor fills in a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor.

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers.

How does conveyancing in Winkleigh differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Winkleigh approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Winkleigh tend to acquire 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Winkleigh or who has acted in the same development.

There is not much else in Winkleigh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
