How does conveyancing in Streatham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Streatham contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Streatham 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 Streatham or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Streatham I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Streatham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
