How does conveyancing in Dukinfield differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Dukinfield come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Dukinfield usually 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 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 Dukinfield or who has acted in the same development.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Dukinfield both have approximately fifty years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame.

Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
