Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Broseley I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Broseley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Do I need to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Broseley conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward conveyancers to use. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that most banks operate an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
