How does conveyancing in Chorlton cum Hardy differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Chorlton cum Hardy approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Chorlton cum Hardy typically acquire 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 Chorlton cum Hardy or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Chorlton cum Hardy I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Chorlton cum Hardy suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 about this.
