I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out property in North Newbald by 27/3/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in North Newbald I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Newbald suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
