Most buyers of new build premises in Mottingham come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Mottingham usually purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mottingham or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Mottingham I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Mottingham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer 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 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
