How does conveyancing in Kibworth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kibworth approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Kibworth typically acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Kibworth or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Kibworth I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kibworth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Kibworth
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Kibworth conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
Our solicitor in Kibworth has informed me that he requires proof of ID documents asserting that this forms part of his retainer as a solicitor on the bank Conveyancing panel. Can this be correct?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not unique to conveyancing in Kibworth
