How does conveyancing in Spilsby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Spilsby come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Spilsby typically acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Spilsby or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Spilsby I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Spilsby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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.
