How does conveyancing in Abbey Wood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Abbey Wood approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Abbey Wood tend to 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 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 Abbey Wood or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Abbey Wood I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Abbey Wood suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
