How does conveyancing in Allenton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Allenton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Allenton tend to 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Allenton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Allenton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Allenton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Should I appoint a Allenton conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal formalities however her office is 400miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Allenton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Allenton conveyancing lawyer just because they are Allenton based.
