How does conveyancing in Little Burstead differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Little Burstead approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Little Burstead 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 conveyancers 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 Little Burstead or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Little Burstead I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease.

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you.
