How does conveyancing in Gowerton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Gowerton come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Gowerton usually 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 Gowerton 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 Gowerton I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease.

You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
