How does conveyancing in Great Dunmow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Great Dunmow contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Great Dunmow 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 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 Great Dunmow or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Great Dunmow I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Great Dunmow suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Great Dunmow and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to commercial lessees, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
