Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Green Street Green

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented apartment in Green Street Green by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to provide notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the sellers solicitors, try to a target completion date that everyone will aim to achieve

How does conveyancing in Green Street Green differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Green Street Green contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Green Street Green tend to buy 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 Green Street Green or who has acted in the same development.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Green Street Green. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Green Street Green - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

After months of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Green Street Green. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
