How does conveyancing in Benton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Benton contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Benton tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Benton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Benton I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Benton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
