How does conveyancing in Bognor Regis differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bognor Regis come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Bognor Regis I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bognor Regis for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated 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 can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
