When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Blaenavon and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Blaenavon you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Blaenavon)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
How does conveyancing in Blaenavon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Blaenavon approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Blaenavon usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 Blaenavon or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Blaenavon I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Blaenavon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
