One will need to have a solicitor to deal with the legal work required when you need a mortgage to buy your home. They will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could appoint a West Kirby solicitor of your choice. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in West Kirby I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Kirby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 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 current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
