Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in East and West Horsley I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East and West Horsley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

They would have to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you will need to make them aware of the replacement conveyancer and ensure the offer are issued to the new lawyers.

Why is it not possible to complete my conveyancing in East and West Horsley on May bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the purchase price needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and seller's conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only happen on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
