I own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Bush Hill Park. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd.

How does conveyancing in Bush Hill Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bush Hill Park come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Bush Hill Park typically acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Bush Hill Park or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Bush Hill Park I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bush Hill Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
