I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in St Johns I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in St Johns suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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 concerning this.
My partner and I have recently had an offer accepted on our 1st house in St Johns, and need to get solicitors appointed. We have utilised the numerous comparison tools and the results are from all over the England and Wales. Is it critical to have a St Johns solicitor local to our prospective property? We are content to do everything over email, but I am thinking at some point we may be required to attend the solicitor's office to sign papers?
The conveyancer does not need to be in St Johns, but choosing local means that you have the option to go in if needed, for instance, if a signature is needed urgently. In addition, a St Johns solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local conveyancing practitioner) with them, which will help keep things moving faster.
