We are buying a newly built flat in Barrow Upon Soar and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the lender to reveal incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I have no desire to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Barrow Upon Soar I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Barrow Upon Soar for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan 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 proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
