Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Llangollen who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

I'm purchasing my first flat in Llangollen with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Llangollen I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llangollen for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may 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.
