How does conveyancing in Plumstead differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Plumstead come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Plumstead 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Plumstead or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Plumstead I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Plumstead suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
