The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Parbold I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Parbold in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

You have the right to select your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers have an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender related work in your home move.
