I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in St Luke's I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Luke's suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

How do I use your search facility to choose a conveyancing lawyer in St Luke's on the approved list for my bank?

1st select a lender such as Lloyds TSB Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society or Nottingham Building Society then choose your preferred area e.g. St Luke's. Conveyancing practices in St Luke's and nationally should be listed.

I bought a property in St Luke's last 3/1/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with HMLR. It was part of a new estate and my lawyer told me that it can take one year to register. I have spoken with HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?

It is your property lawyer that you must contact in order to satisfy any concerns which have arisen as part of the registration formalities for your St Luke's property. Normal St Luke's conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the previous owner’s conveyancing practitioner that they will help resolve any requisition raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
