How does conveyancing in Maze Hill differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Maze Hill approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Maze Hill usually buy 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 Maze Hill or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Maze Hill I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Maze Hill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
