How does conveyancing in Witham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Witham come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Witham usually purchase the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Witham or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Witham I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Witham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
