How does conveyancing in Port Clarence differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Port Clarence come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Port Clarence usually buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Port Clarence or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Port Clarence I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Port Clarence in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
