How does conveyancing in Normanton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Normanton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Normanton tend to purchase 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Normanton or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Normanton I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Normanton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My cousin has urged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Normanton. Should I find my own property lawyer?

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to get recommendations from friends or family who have used the firm you're contemplating using.
