Maidstone is a very old town, which can be traced back to the mid 1500's. It also includes many old buildings and properties. Because of this, there are areas of conservation in the town. Currently, there are 41 areas of conservation in Maidstone, including: Boxley Abbey, Grove Green, Loose Valley, Maidstone Rocky Hill and many more. Before making alterations to a building in a conservation area, whether the building is listed or not, checks should be made with the local authority. The Conveyancing expert who is carrying out your Conveyancing can assist you with this.
In Maidstone, there are several council properties which, under the right to buy scheme, a tenant may be able to purchase. The property is sold at the current market value, minus any discount that the tenant may be able entitled to. In some cases, some of the discount may have to be paid back to the landlord in the case of the property being sold within 5 years of purchase.
There are a certain amount of properties in Maidstone that have never been registered. The Conveyancing Solicitor that you choose will have to be able to deal with unregistered properties. The seller of the property has to produce an "epitome of sale" which would prove their ownership to the buyer. This "epitome of sale" is a list of documents that shows a good root of title, for a minimum of 15 years. Your Conveyancer should make thorough checks to ensure that these documents are of adequate quality.
There are a good amount of new build properties, including flats and houses, in the Maidstone area. For example, there are new build houses in Oxford Gardens, St George's Place and Sutton Valence. Procedures are slightly different with new builds, so your Conveyancer should be aware of how to deal with new build properties. When the contracts have been exchanged, it is very often that the completion date of the property has not yet been decided. Your Conveyancing Solicitor should look into any cash incentives offered by the developer of the property. If buying with a mortgage, the lender should be advised of any cash incentives.
