How does conveyancing in Lees differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Lees come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Lees tend to acquire 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 Lees or who has acted in the same development.

We own a leasehold flat in Lees. Conveyancing was finalised in 21012. I have been told that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Is this right?

Lees leasehold properties are for a set period - often just under one hundred years when they started. However many flats in Lees were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years unexpired. This may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching seventy five years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Please note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
