How does conveyancing in Tottenham Hale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tottenham Hale come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Tottenham Hale usually purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Tottenham Hale or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Tottenham Hale I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tottenham Hale suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
