How does conveyancing in Mawsley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Mawsley approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Mawsley tend to purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mawsley or who has acted in the same development.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Mawsley conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Mawsley conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Mawsley conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:
-
How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation? Can they put you in touch with clients in Mawsley who can give a testimonial?

How much is the ground rent and service charge? If a Mawsley lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. For most Mawsleylease extensions you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the property for 24 months in order to be eligible to extend the lease. It would be sensible to discover as much as you can regarding the company managing the block as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to daily matters like the cleanliness of the communal areas. You should not be afraid to ask other people what they think of their management. Finally, find out the dates that the service charges are due to the relevant party and specifically what it includes.
