How does conveyancing in Yelverton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Yelverton come to 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 Yelverton 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Yelverton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Yelverton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Yelverton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
