How does conveyancing in Chertsey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Chertsey approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Chertsey typically 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 Chertsey or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Chertsey I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Chertsey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
