Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Lancaster I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lancaster suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My partner and I are buying a garden flat in Lancaster. When we first instructed property lawyer, they told us that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our financial adviser emailed today to say that they don't appear to be on the Skipton approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we just pick a different lawyer that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Skipton selecting their own preferred solicitor.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should call Skipton to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Skipton's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Lancaster solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
