How does conveyancing in Stockwood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Stockwood come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Stockwood tend to 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Stockwood or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Stockwood I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stockwood for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
