After reviewing consumer advice sites for a recommended solicitor in Desborough, most post that I must instruct a CQS assured lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?

How does conveyancing in Desborough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Desborough come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Desborough usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Desborough or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Desborough I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Desborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. 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 at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
