I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Northfleet I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Northfleet in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may 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 about this matter.

I am 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Northfleet. We are not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?

There are a lot of houses in Northfleet on private roads. We are buying such a house. Are there any advantages to purchasing a house on a privately owned road?

Northfleet conveyancing solicitors are familiar with transacting houseson unadopted roads. The conveyancer will review the title to find any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear nicer than council adopted.
