I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Caversham I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Caversham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Caversham?
Conveyancing - in Caversham or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you complete your move.
