Having invested time reviewing moneysavingexpert.com for a high-quality lawyer in Aberporth, most post that I should use a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in the legal transfer of properties, trusted by some of the UK's major banks. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Society for Licensed Conveyancers.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Aberporth I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Aberporth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
