I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Harleston I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Harleston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Harleston I wish to talk to a conveyancer about myconveyancing ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Harleston.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter reference.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Harleston

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Harleston conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.

We today discovered that one of the partners of the firm undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Harleston is is the mother of the seller. Is this acceptable?

As long as no conflict arises this is allowable. If you are needing a mortgage then the mortgage company may have a say as many banks have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Leeds Building Society as of 16/6/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided that:

• a different person deals with the conveyance (i.e. not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family);

• there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction; and

• the Law Society guidelines are followed.
