Me and my partner are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Frenchay but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price.

I am buying my first flat in Frenchay with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Frenchay I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Frenchay suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
