We previously appointed conveyancers with offices in Broughton Astley on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Broughton Astley conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
How does conveyancing in Broughton Astley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Broughton Astley approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Broughton Astley tend to purchase the real estate, 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 Broughton Astley or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Broughton Astley I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Broughton Astley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises 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 existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
