How does conveyancing in Cambridgeshire differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cambridgeshire contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Cambridgeshire tend to purchase 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 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 Cambridgeshire or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Cambridgeshire I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cambridgeshire in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
Should I be worried if there is a problem with one of the searches for my conveyancing in Cambridgeshire?
Normally, almost all adverse entries that arise in Cambridgeshire conveyancing search results can be dealt with ahead of completion or indemnity insurance can be taken. It is crucial to note that even though you may be purchasing the property and might be content to live with the search results, your mortgage lender may not, and ultimately have the final decision.
