How does conveyancing in Lower Clapton differ for newly converted properties?

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

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Lower Clapton I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lower Clapton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
