I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Burnham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Burnham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Do I need to be concerned by third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Burnham conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from connections can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward solicitors to appoint. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
