I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Elephant and Castle I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Elephant and Castle in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying 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 expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I have been recommended by a couple of local estate agents in Elephant and Castle to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am a fortnight into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Elephant and Castle. I am am starting to be dissatisfied with the level of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?
A solicitor would have to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new solicitor and ensure the offer are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating costs and complications. That should be your starting point.
