How does conveyancing in Fishponds differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fishponds contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Fishponds typically purchase 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 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 Fishponds or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Fishponds I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fishponds for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My husband and I intend to buy our 1st house in Fishponds. Conveyancing practitioner has been selected. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed twenty two years ago.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is more than 10 years old the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may suffice. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest additional investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of problems seek a full structural survey.
