How does conveyancing in Aberdare differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Aberdare come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Aberdare usually buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Aberdare or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Aberdare I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aberdare for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I have been advised by a few estate agents in Aberdare to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We don’t make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
