How does conveyancing in Finedon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Finedon approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Finedon tend to buy 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 Finedon or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Finedon I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Finedon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 lawyer concerning this.
