Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bagshot contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Bagshot tend to 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 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Bagshot I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease.

Should you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
