How does conveyancing in Worplesdon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Worplesdon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Worplesdon typically buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Worplesdon or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Worplesdon I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Worplesdon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require 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 owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I have recently realised that I have 62 years remaining on my flat in Worplesdon. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Worplesdon.

Best to be warned whether redecorating or some other significant cost is coming up to be shared by the leasehold owners and will materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or result in a specific payment. Most Worplesdon leasehold flats will have a service charge for the upkeep of the block invoiced on behalf of the landlord. Where you acquire the apartment you will have to pay this amount, normally in instalments during the year. This could differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, normally this is not a significant sum, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire as sometimes it can be surprisingly expensive. Where a Worplesdon lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. For most Worplesdonlease extensions you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the property for two years before you are eligible to extend the lease.
