Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Datchet and Langley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Datchet and Langley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

As with many professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
