How does conveyancing in Ferring and Goring differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ferring and Goring contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Ferring and Goring typically 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ferring and Goring or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Ferring and Goring I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ferring and Goring suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
