How does conveyancing in Burnham On Crouch differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Burnham On Crouch come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Burnham On Crouch tend to buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Burnham On Crouch or who has acted in the same development.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Burnham On Crouch where we see a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Burnham On Crouch conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises was constructed over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk.

If there are any indications of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
