How does conveyancing in Broughton Astley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Broughton Astley 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 house builders in Broughton Astley typically acquire 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 Broughton Astley or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Broughton Astley I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Broughton Astley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
