I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Dunchurch I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Dunchurch for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Dunchurch. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Dunchurch - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My partner and I have just had an offer accepted on a property and had an appointment on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an extra fee of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have requested Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
Ask Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search facility and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Dunchurch on the approved list for Nationwide.
