Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Chadwell Heath I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chadwell Heath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Chadwell Heath conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
