How does conveyancing in Danescourt differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Danescourt contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Danescourt usually 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 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 Danescourt or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Danescourt I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Danescourt in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
