Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Arkley I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Arkley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My brother has recommend that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Arkley. Should I choose my own solicitor?
There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek guidance from friends or family who have experience in using the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.
