I selected a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Longthorpe yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line conveyancing company advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Longthorpe?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset the transactions that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such deals rarely cover expenses such your Longthorpe conveyancing search charges.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Longthorpe is more expensive?

The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Longthorpe is often higher when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Longthorpe I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Longthorpe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
