How does conveyancing in Shoreditch differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Shoreditch approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Shoreditch tend to acquire 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Shoreditch or who has acted in the same development.

I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Shoreditch both have approximately 50 years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
