How does conveyancing in Peak District differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Peak District come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Peak District usually purchase the land, 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 Peak District or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Peak District I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease.

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 solicitor about this matter.
