Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Acle I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Acle suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years 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 existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Acle to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your services over another?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My partner and I have just had an offer accepted on our first home in Acle, and are now looking to get solicitors appointed.

We are fine to do everything electronically, but I guess at some point we will be required to attend the 's office to sign papers?
On the whole there is no need to physically visit the office of your , they can post any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers prefer to use a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Acle.
