How does conveyancing in Waolstenholme differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Waolstenholme contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Waolstenholme tend to purchase 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 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 Waolstenholme or who has acted in the same development.

Does the lease have onerous restrictions? You should be aware that where the lease has no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. Check with your lender that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for two years before you are legally able to extend the lease. The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders enjoy control and even though a managing agent is often employed where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
