I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Merton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Merton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Merton
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Merton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
