Before the recession most lenders exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, mortgage companies have since looked to extract more data from law firms regarding their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders set.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Upper Norwood I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Upper Norwood suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
