Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Ingleby Barwick. What is the rationale as to why all Ingleby Barwick aren't automatically on all bank panels?

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Ingleby Barwick I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Ingleby Barwick in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
