However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Axmouth and Branscombe)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Axmouth and Branscombe I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Axmouth and Branscombe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the 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 can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
