A friend suggested that if I am buying in Upper Tean I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Upper Tean conveyancing searches.

How does conveyancing in Upper Tean differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Upper Tean come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Upper Tean typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Upper Tean or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Upper Tean I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Upper Tean suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer 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 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
