As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Alfreton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Alfreton approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Alfreton 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Alfreton or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Alfreton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Alfreton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
