I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in New Milton. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in New Milton. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the New Milton conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in New Milton should provide you some sensible guidance concerning this.

I am buying a new build flat in New Milton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in New Milton

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in New Milton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in New Milton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My conveyancing in New Milton completes this Friday, yet the person I am buying off has asked to vacate on the Saturday noon. Can I accept this?

You can't complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems are not operating.
