How does conveyancing in Kingsbridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Kingsbridge contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Kingsbridge typically acquire 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 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 Kingsbridge or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Kingsbridge I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kingsbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
