Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Goole costs more?

My sealed bid on a house in Goole has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Goole. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Goole conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Goole I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Goole in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer 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 request that they 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 consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
