How does conveyancing in Buntingford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Buntingford contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Buntingford typically acquire 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 Buntingford or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Buntingford I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Buntingford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
