I have recentlydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Crofton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Crofton conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Crofton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crofton approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Crofton tend to acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Crofton or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Crofton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Crofton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I have today placed an offer on an apartment in Crofton and the broker that we are using recommended his conveyancing practitioner. He quoted £900 including VAT and disbursements. Does this sound like a good deal?
