Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Cranbrook I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cranbrook for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the 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 may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Cranbrook
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Cranbrook conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
