How does conveyancing in Nafferton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Nafferton approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Nafferton usually 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 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 Nafferton or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Nafferton I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Nafferton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 solicitor about this.

I own a leasehold house in Nafferton. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Nafferton who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Nafferton conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
