How does conveyancing in Longlands differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Longlands contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Longlands typically acquire 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 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 Longlands or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Longlands I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
