Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Stretton costs more?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Stretton is frequently higher when contrasted to a freehold property. This is because there is an amount of additional investigations necessary in corresponding with the freeholder and managing agents to obtain evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance fee have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

How does conveyancing in Stretton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Stretton come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Stretton usually 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 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 Stretton or who has acted in the same development.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Stretton?
Conveyancing - in Stretton or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
