How does conveyancing in Anlaby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Anlaby come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Anlaby 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 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 Anlaby or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Anlaby I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Anlaby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension 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 solicitor regarding this.
