I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Felling and Pelaw I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Felling and Pelaw suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely 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 a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Me and my partner are hoping to buy a three bedroom flatin Felling and Pelaw with a home loan from a bank. We wish to instruct our conveyancer in Felling and Pelaw but our mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Felling and Pelaw solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Felling and Pelaw : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
