Is it possible for conveyancing in Tutbury to be completed inside a month?
First, If you are under time constraints to exchange we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and knowledge. It is possible that they could have transacted otherproperties in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Tutbury conveyancing firm. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is understood that 18% of Tutbury conveyancing transactions are delayed or derailed after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves every year. Almost all Tutbury conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
How does conveyancing in Tutbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Tutbury contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Tutbury usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 Tutbury or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Tutbury I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tutbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Tutbury
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Tutbury conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
