Most buyers of new build residence in Burton upon Stather contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Burton upon Stather tend to 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 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.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Burton upon Stather I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease.

Should you require 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 property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
