It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Loughton with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would affect my loan with Nationwide Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Loughton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Loughton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
