How does conveyancing in Wendover differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wendover come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Wendover typically 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 Wendover or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Wendover I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wendover for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Wendover
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Wendover conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
