It is rare for properties in Mexborough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Mexborough but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

How does conveyancing in Mexborough differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Mexborough come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Mexborough usually acquire the real estate, 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 Mexborough or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Mexborough I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mexborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
