How does conveyancing in Plymstock differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Plymstock contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Plymstock tend to purchase the real estate, 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 Plymstock or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Plymstock I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Plymstock in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
