Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Darwen I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Darwen for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I am looking for a conveyancing lawyer in Darwen for my remortgage. Is it possible to review a firm’s complaints history with the profession’s regulator?
You can search for published Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions arising from inquisitions started on or after 1 January 2008. Go to Check a solicitor's record. For information Pre 2008, or to check a solicitors history, ring 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am. For non-uk callers, call +44 (0)121 329 6800.

We have AIP from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society who have advised we could borrow up to £218k. At what point do I need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? Darwen is where we are purchasing.
It would be wise to instruct a solicitor now so that the conveyancing practitioner can open the ledger so they can do their AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to commence work they will seek a payment on account normally about £175. That would normally be after you have the mortgage offer and valuation back, however if you wish to expedite the process you can get going sooner even though you may be risking some money.
