How does conveyancing in Hale differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Hale contact 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 Hale 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hale or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Hale I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all rents and service invoices will be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
