There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Cirencester registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies.

How does conveyancing in Cirencester differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cirencester contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Cirencester typically acquire 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 Cirencester or who has acted in the same development.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years left on my flat in Cirencester. I am keen to get lease extension but my landlord is missing. What are my options?

This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. In some cases a specialist may be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Cirencester.

I bought a leasehold flat in Cirencester, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Cirencester with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2078

With just 54 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £31,400 and £36,200 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
