How does conveyancing in Cranham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cranham approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Cranham typically buy the real estate, 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 Cranham or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Cranham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cranham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
