How does conveyancing in Workington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Workington contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Workington usually buy 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 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 Workington or who has acted in the same development.

We are midway through buying a house in Workington. Conveyancing solicitor has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our HSBC valuation?
Workington conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
