How does conveyancing in Tufnell Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tufnell Park approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Tufnell Park typically purchase 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 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.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Tufnell Park I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tufnell Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner 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. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
