How does conveyancing in Mountain Ash differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Mountain Ash come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Mountain Ash typically purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Mountain Ash or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Mountain Ash I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mountain Ash in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
