Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Broadstairs I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Broadstairs in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Taking into account that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Broadstairs I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thetransaction before appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Broadstairs.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Broadstairs should be the figure that you end up paying.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Broadstairs , but I am anxious exchange. Do I have options?

You can accept a lower deposit. Many property owners will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
