I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Shefford I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Shefford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Shefford
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Shefford conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
