How does conveyancing in Canning Town differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Canning Town approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Canning Town tend to buy 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 Canning Town or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Canning Town I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Canning Town in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
