If unclear, ask the conveyancer to explain.

How does conveyancing in Biggleswade differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Biggleswade contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Biggleswade 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 conveyancers 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 Biggleswade or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Biggleswade I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Biggleswade in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
