How does conveyancing in Blaenau Gwent differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Blaenau Gwent approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Blaenau Gwent tend to 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Blaenau Gwent 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 identified one close by in Blaenau Gwent I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Blaenau Gwent for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Blaenau Gwent
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Blaenau Gwent conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
