How does conveyancing in Porthleven differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Porthleven approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Porthleven typically buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Porthleven or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Porthleven I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Porthleven in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
