Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in St Athan I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in St Athan suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in St Athan it shows results of many solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the suitable conveyancing solicitor for me?

The preferential method of seeking the right conveyancer is through a personal recommendation, so ask friends and relatives who have acquired a property in St Athan or the respected estate agent or financial adviser. Charges for conveyancing in St Athan differ, so it's advisable to request at least four quotes from different law firms. Dont forget to clarify that the charges are guaranteed not to to be inflated.

As a leasehold owner I am liable for a service charge for my appartment in St Athan. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped into arrears with payments. The management company agreed a settlement plan but there is still about £1750 due to be paid.

I want to dispose of the property and I am concerned this could threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and then discharge the debt from the completion monies - is this achievable?

Do clarify with the conveyancing practitioner undertaking your St Athan conveyancing but one option may be to agree for the arrears to be attributed to the purchasers. The contractual price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the arrears after completion of the purchase.
