How does conveyancing in Holloway differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Holloway contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Holloway 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 property lawyers 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 Holloway or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Holloway I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Holloway suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Holloway should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
I am buying a garden apartment in Holloway. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance documents. I was told today I was informed that the seller must forward the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why does my property lawyer need to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly required? We have been in hold for the last 3 weeks…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Holloway to find Conveyancing in Holloway in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the entire building - which is definitely better. You should check with your conveyancer but it would appear that your conveyancing practitioner is attempting to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
