Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Leytonstone and elsewhere in North East London is an adversarial experience.

How does conveyancing in Leytonstone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Leytonstone come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Leytonstone tend to 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 Leytonstone or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Leytonstone I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Leytonstone in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
