My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Badsey
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Badsey conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
We own a leasehold flat in Badsey. Conveyancing was finalised in 2010. I have heard that I mustn’t let the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?
Badsey domestic long term leases are for a set term - usually ninety nine years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Badsey were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to require leases to have a minimum of 75 years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching seventy five years. To enhance the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
