I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Coulsdon I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Coulsdon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage 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 current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but reside in Coulsdon. My lawyer (based 300 kilometers from meneeds me to execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Coulsdon who can witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Coulsdon
