As far as conveyancing in Pudsey registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Pudsey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Pudsey approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Pudsey typically acquire the real estate, 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 Pudsey or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Pudsey I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Pudsey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
