I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Amble I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Amble in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Amble
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Amble conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
How and when do I cover the costs of the Stamp Duty Land Tax due for my purchase in Amble?
Your property lawyer should fill out a Land Transaction Return Form for you during your Amble purchase transaction for you to sign. After completion your solicitor will submit the STL application to the Inland Revenue and - assuming they have the money - pay any tax bill liability on your behalf.
