It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Porthleven agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Porthleven conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Porthleven.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Porthleven I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Porthleven 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 shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
