How does conveyancing in Bedford Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bedford Park come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Bedford Park 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Bedford Park or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Bedford Park I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bedford Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
