How does conveyancing in Northumberland Heath differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Northumberland Heath come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Northumberland Heath typically acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Northumberland Heath or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Northumberland Heath I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Northumberland Heath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
