Legal Support for New Build Purchases
Buying a newly built home comes with unique considerations that call for careful attention. Agreements between developers and local authorities often involve provisions for amenities, affordable housing, or infrastructure, which our team thoroughly examines. Some properties may include ground rent or service charges payable to a management company, even if the property is freehold. We will check and explain the documentation, to make sure it is all in order.
Remortgage Conveyancing Services
Switching to a new mortgage provider can feel like a big move, but it doesn’t have to be daunting. A remortgage typically involves paying off your current mortgage using funds from a new lender. Our experienced conveyancing team is skilled in handling remortgage transactions efficiently, ensuring the process is smooth and stress-free. We also assist with related matters like transfers of equity, providing clarity at every stage. If you’re exploring refinancing options, we’ll make certain your remortgage progresses in a timely manner, helping you meet your financial goals promptly and with ease.
Legal Assistance for Transfers of Equity
Sharing ownership or making changes to a property’s title often marks an important chapter in life. We specialise in handling transfers of equity, whether it’s adding a spouse, parent, or child to the title or adjusting ownership after separation. If a mortgage is involved, we’ll deal with lender requirements, for redemption, release from mortgage covenants, new mortgage documents and registration. Our team is skilled in managing transfers for freehold, leasehold, and shared ownership properties. We also recommend reviewing Wills during this process, helping secure your future plans with absolute precision.
