I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Earlestown I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Earlestown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a couple of grand short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Earlestown , but I still want to proceed. What can I do?

You can accept a lesser deposit. Most property owners will agree to a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
