I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Rothwell I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Rothwell for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Rothwell to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
