How does conveyancing in Oakleigh Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Oakleigh Park come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Oakleigh Park 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Oakleigh Park or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Oakleigh Park I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Oakleigh Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Oakleigh Park what are the most common lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Oakleigh Park. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the property
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, Bank of Scotland, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
