I'm buying my first flat in Crossness with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Crossness I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Crossness in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I am attracted to a two apartments in Crossness which have about 50 years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
