How does conveyancing in Sandhurst differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Sandhurst contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Sandhurst usually 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 property lawyers 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 Sandhurst or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Sandhurst I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Sandhurst in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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.
