I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in East Bergholt. The East Bergholt property was put into my name in August. I want to move.

Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in East Bergholt I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Bergholt for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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.

I dont have enough spare cash to pay a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in East Bergholt , but I am anxious go ahead. Do I have options?
One option is to try and agree a lower deposit. Most property owners will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last second
