I require expedited conveyancing in Fernhill Heath as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts in less than 4 weeks. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Fernhill Heath I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fernhill Heath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage 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 current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
