How does conveyancing in Byker and Walker differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Byker and Walker approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Byker and Walker tend to purchase 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 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 Byker and Walker 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 near me in Byker and Walker I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Byker and Walker suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I am looking at a two apartments in Byker and Walker which have approximately fifty years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?

There are plenty of short leases in Byker and Walker. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
