Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Coleford costs more?

The conveyancing costs on a leasehold property in Coleford is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of extra investigations necessary in dealing with the landlord and managing agents to collate the evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Coleford I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Coleford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
