Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Allenton is more expensive?
Allenton leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Allenton. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include checks to see if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Allenton can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or need the permission of a 3rd party. Many works call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Allenton lawyer having checked that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Allenton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Allenton.

Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up Nottingham or the broker and complete any relevant documentation.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Allenton.
How does conveyancing in Allenton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Allenton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Allenton 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Allenton or who has acted in the same development.
