How does conveyancing in Sedgefield differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Sedgefield approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Sedgefield usually purchase 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 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 Sedgefield or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Sedgefield I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sedgefield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
