How does conveyancing in Sheen Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Sheen Park contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Sheen Park tend to 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 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 Sheen Park or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Sheen Park I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sheen Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require 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 proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
