How does conveyancing in Gilberdyke differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Gilberdyke come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Gilberdyke tend to acquire 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 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 Gilberdyke or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Gilberdyke I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gilberdyke for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
