How does conveyancing in Westerham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Westerham contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Westerham 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Westerham or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Westerham I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Westerham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
