How does conveyancing in Melbourne differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Melbourne come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Melbourne typically buy 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 Melbourne or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Melbourne I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Melbourne for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
