I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Arnside I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Arnside 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 mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 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 existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Arnside. I have land on a site which looks to be the ideal answer If it is possible to get all the legals done via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
