As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Storrington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Storrington come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Storrington usually buy the real estate, 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 Storrington or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Storrington I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Storrington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
