I am in the process of remortgaging my house in Bramford, does my lawyer need to be on the Nottingham Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nottingham will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
How does conveyancing in Bramford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bramford contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Bramford usually purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bramford or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Bramford I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bramford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Should I go with a Bramford conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities however his firm is located 300miles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Bramford conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Bramford conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
