How does conveyancing in Danbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Danbury come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Danbury typically 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 property lawyers 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 Danbury or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Danbury I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Danbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may 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 existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
