At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Marlow and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Marlow you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Marlow)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Marlow. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Marlow
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Marlow I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Marlow in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Marlow. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the invoice as normal because all rents and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
