How does conveyancing in Kings Langley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Kings Langley come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Kings Langley 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kings Langley or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Kings Langley I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kings Langley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Looking forward to exchange soon on a studio apartment in Kings Langley. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they report fully tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
