How does conveyancing in Abergavenny differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Abergavenny contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Abergavenny usually 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 Abergavenny or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Abergavenny I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Abergavenny for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
