We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hayle
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Hayle conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Hayle which have about forty five years remaining on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Hayle. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
