Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in East Dulwich I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Dulwich for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in East Dulwich

Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted East Dulwich conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
