Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Saxilby. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Saxilby

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Saxilby in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Saxilby. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Saxilby especially if they are familiar with such properties in Saxilby.

I have been recommended by a few estate agents in Saxilby to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?

We don’t give any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My father has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Saxilby. Do I take his advice?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Saxilby conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are considering.

Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Saxilby being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the mortgage company approved panel?

We are not in the business of recommending one firm above another as the right Saxilby conveyancing firm for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Saxilby knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
