How does conveyancing in Adamsdown differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Adamsdown approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed.

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 am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Adamsdown I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Adamsdown suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
