How does conveyancing in Yatton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Yatton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Yatton tend to purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Yatton or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Yatton I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Yatton in this price bracket, 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 shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
