How does conveyancing in Nantyglo differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Nantyglo come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Nantyglo tend to acquire 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 Nantyglo or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Nantyglo I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Nantyglo suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount 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 request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
