How does conveyancing in Creigiau differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Creigiau approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Creigiau usually acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Creigiau 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 close by in Creigiau I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Creigiau for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner 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. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

In this arrangement the lessees enjoy control and although a managing agent is usually retained where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. This question is useful as a) areas may result in problems for the block as the common areas may start to deteriorate if services are not paid for b) if the tenants have an issue with the managing agents you will want to know about it
