How does conveyancing in Welwyn Garden City differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Welwyn Garden City approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Welwyn Garden City usually 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 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 Welwyn Garden City 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 identified one round the corner in Welwyn Garden City I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Welwyn Garden City in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 about this matter.
