How does conveyancing in Cleckheaton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Cleckheaton contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Cleckheaton usually purchase the land, 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 Cleckheaton or who has acted in the same development.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Cleckheaton, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?

With just 50 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £36,100 and £41,800 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
