Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in North Ockendon I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in North Ockendon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer 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 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in North Ockendon
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted North Ockendon conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
