Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Hertfordshire will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Some additions require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Hertfordshire I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hertfordshire 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 home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Hertfordshire

Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Hertfordshire conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
