How does conveyancing in Victoria Docks differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Victoria Docks approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Victoria Docks typically 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 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 Victoria Docks or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Victoria Docks I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Victoria Docks for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
