How does conveyancing in Shinfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Shinfield come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Shinfield typically acquire 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 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 Shinfield or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Shinfield I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Shinfield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
