I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Mayfair I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Mayfair in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I have read on various online forums that when choosing a conveyancing solicitors they must be approved by your lender. I am new to the process but I have an AIP from HSBC and I already have a local conveyancing lawyer in Mayfair in place. Will HSBC need an approved solicitor to be instructed? If so, where can I find that list for my conveyancing in Mayfair?
You should choose a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. Simply telephone your preferred Mayfair conveyancing solicitor to check if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of alternatives open to you here:
- Carry on with your chosen Mayfair solicitor but HSBC will need to use a solicitor from their approved list. The net result is additional cost together with probable delay.
- Appoint a fresh conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, not forgetting to check that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to attempt to join the mortgage company panel.
