How does conveyancing in Kenton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kenton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Kenton 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 conveyancers 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 Kenton or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Kenton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Kenton 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 that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
