You have limited options available to you.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Thurston conveyancing searches.

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Thurston conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Thurston I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Thurston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
