I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Osterley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Osterley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Osterley
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Osterley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
