I'm purchasing my first flat in Stoke Poges with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Stoke Poges I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stoke Poges in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
