How does conveyancing in Millwall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Millwall approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Millwall tend to purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Millwall or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Millwall I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Millwall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
