Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Anlaby house deals. Is that correct?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Anlaby?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Anlaby. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Anlaby differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Anlaby approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Anlaby typically acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Anlaby or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Anlaby I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Anlaby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
