Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Onslow Village I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Onslow Village for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer 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 could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Onslow Village
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Onslow Village conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
