My colleague recommended that where I am buying in Melling I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is usually quoted for as part of the standard Melling conveyancing searches. It is a large document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Melling around the property and the people living there.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Melling I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Melling in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
