Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Aberbargoed costs more?
The conveyancing charges for a leasehold premises in Aberbargoed is often more expensive when contrasted to a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of supplemental work necessary in liaising with the freeholder and managing agents to obtain evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Aberbargoed conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Aberbargoed I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Aberbargoed in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce 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 a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Reality however dictates that you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to complete the sale of your home.
