I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Thornaby I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Thornaby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Thornaby

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Thornaby conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
