Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Roade. Conveyancing is daunting 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 are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Roade

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Roade

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Roade conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

I acquired a flat in Roade last 23/8/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it can take 12 months to complete the registration formalities. I have called the Land Registry directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?

It is your solicitor that you must turn to here in order to satisfy any issues which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Roade property. Normal Roade conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's solicitor that they will help resolve any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of seeking to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
