How does conveyancing in Fordingbridge differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Fordingbridge contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Fordingbridge usually purchase the land, 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 Fordingbridge or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Fordingbridge I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Fordingbridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
