How does conveyancing in Stafford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stafford come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Stafford usually purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Stafford or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Stafford I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stafford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
