How does conveyancing in Llanfairfechan differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Llanfairfechan come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Llanfairfechan typically 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 Llanfairfechan or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Llanfairfechan I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Llanfairfechan suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

My father has urged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Llanfairfechan. Do I take his recommendation?

No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get feedback from friends or family who have actually used the conveyancer that you are considering.

I own a leasehold flat in Llanfairfechan. Conveyancing was finalised in 21012. I have read on various advice forums that I mustn’t let the lease length get too short. What is the reasoning?

Llanfairfechan leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - often 99 years when they started. However many flats in Llanfairfechan were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have less than 80 years left to run. That may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing 75 years. To optimize your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
