How does conveyancing in Cullercoats differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cullercoats contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Cullercoats tend to 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 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 Cullercoats 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 Cullercoats I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cullercoats in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
