About to purchase a new build apartment in Wiveliscombe. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Wiveliscombe I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Wiveliscombe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
