How does conveyancing in Swaffham differ for newly converted properties?

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

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Swaffham 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 Swaffham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years may 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 proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
