It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and get up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
How does conveyancing in Croesyceiliog differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Croesyceiliog contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Croesyceiliog 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Croesyceiliog or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Croesyceiliog I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Croesyceiliog for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension 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 concerning this matter.
