Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Barton Le Clay I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Barton Le Clay for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension 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 lawyer about this.

Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Barton Le Clay
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Barton Le Clay conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
