Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Old Swan I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Old Swan for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated 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 start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Old Swan
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Old Swan conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
