About to purchase a new build flat in Honor Oak. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Honor Oak I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Honor Oak suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
