How does conveyancing in Cranford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cranford contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Cranford typically buy 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 Cranford or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Cranford I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cranford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.
