How does conveyancing in Woodford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Woodford come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Woodford usually purchase the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Woodford or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Woodford I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Woodford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
