My previous lawyer has sent a quote for £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Cheetham. I am looking to sell a purpose built detached home for £225,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Cheetham?

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Cheetham I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cheetham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing 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. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
