I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Martock I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Martock suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Martock to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your services over a competitor’s?

We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Martock. I happened to discover a web site which seems to have the ideal answer If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via email that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
