How does conveyancing in Tottenham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tottenham come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Tottenham usually acquire 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 Tottenham or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Tottenham I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Tottenham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

They would have to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has the loan offer been sent? If so you need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent.
