How does conveyancing in Tadcaster differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tadcaster contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Tadcaster tend to 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 Tadcaster or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Tadcaster I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tadcaster for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
