In the event thatI were to acquire a simple residential homein Chippenham mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Chippenham?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Chippenham I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chippenham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
