How does conveyancing in Woodbridge differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Woodbridge come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Woodbridge 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Woodbridge or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Woodbridge I like with a park 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 Woodbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

How do I use the search app to get a fee calculation from a conveyancing practitioner in Woodbridge on the panel for my mortgage?

Step one is to pick a mortgage company such as Accord Mortgages Ltd, Virgin Money or Britannia then type in your location e.g. Woodbridge. Conveyancing firms in Woodbridge and across England and Wales will then be listed.
