How does conveyancing in Eden Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Eden Park contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Eden Park tend to purchase the land, 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 Eden Park or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Eden Park I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Eden Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
