How does conveyancing in Benllech differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Benllech come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Benllech usually buy 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 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 Benllech or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Benllech I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Benllech for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Benllech. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
