How does conveyancing in Craven Arms differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Craven Arms come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Craven Arms I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Craven Arms suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. 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 twenty four months you may 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 existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
