How does conveyancing in Exminster differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Exminster approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Exminster tend to 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 property lawyers 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 Exminster or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Exminster I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Exminster for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
