How does conveyancing in Pratt's Bottom differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Pratt's Bottom come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Pratt's Bottom usually acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Pratt's Bottom or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Pratt's Bottom I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Pratt's Bottom suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
