How does conveyancing in Gants Hill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Gants Hill approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Gants Hill 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 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.

We own a leasehold flat in Gants Hill. Conveyancing was completed in 2011. I have been told that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Is this correct?
Gants Hill leasehold properties are for a set term - often ninety nine years when they commenced. However many appartments in Gants Hill were built or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have less than 80 years remaining. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole require leases to have at least 75 years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To maximise the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
