How does conveyancing in Saltney differ for newly converted properties?

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

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Saltney I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Saltney for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
