I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Alston I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Alston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce 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 ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Given that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a property in Alston I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehome move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Alston.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Alston should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

I pay a service charge for my appartment in Alston. As a result of flawed financial planning I fell behind with payments. The freeholders agreed a settlement plan but there is still about £3000 outstanding as of today.

I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am concerned this may hold me back if I have to pay off the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?

It would be wise to check with the lawyer carrying out your Alston conveyancing but one option could be to arrange for the outstanding amount to be passed to the buyers. The contractual price due would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the fees after completion of the sale.
