How does conveyancing in Linton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Linton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Linton tend to 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 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 Linton or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Linton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Linton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Am I better off to go with a Linton conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can carry out the conveyancing however his firm is located 200miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Linton conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and they were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Linton conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
