Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Upper Tean I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Upper Tean for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could 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 existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I was recommended by three or four local estate agents in Upper Tean to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
