My lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Lees and Moorside. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution.

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.

How does conveyancing in Lees and Moorside differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Lees and Moorside approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Lees and Moorside typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lees and Moorside or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Lees and Moorside I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lees and Moorside suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
