How does conveyancing in Bedford Hill differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bedford Hill come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Bedford Hill tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bedford Hill or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Bedford Hill I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bedford Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. 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 at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
