How does conveyancing in North Cornelly differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in North Cornelly approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in North Cornelly usually acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in North Cornelly or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in North Cornelly I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in North Cornelly for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. 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 at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
