I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Brampton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brampton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we use their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Brampton

Am in the process of buying my 1st house in Brampton. Conveyancing lawyer already appointed. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not necessary as the property was only constructed in 2002.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any apparent problems and recommend further investigation if appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
