How does conveyancing in Lyme Regis differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Lyme Regis come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Lyme Regis typically acquire the land, 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 Lyme Regis or who has acted in the same development.

I can't really find anything else in Lyme Regis in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
