Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Pangbourne costs more?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Pangbourne and Berkshire usually warrants more due diligence compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord about serving applicable notices, securing current service charge and management information, procuring the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first entered into.

How does conveyancing in Pangbourne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Pangbourne come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Pangbourne 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 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 Pangbourne or who has acted in the same development.
