How does conveyancing in Borough Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Borough Green come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Borough Green typically purchase the real estate, 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 Borough Green or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Borough Green I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Borough Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I pay a service charge for my property in Borough Green. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell behind with remittance. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains approximately £2000 currently outstanding.
