When looking at online forums for an affordable solicitor in Mexborough, most post that I should instruct a CQS assured solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Mexborough I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mexborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Mexborough conveyancing firm?

As with lots of professional services, often referrals from connections can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to retain. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.

Looking forward to complete next month on a leasehold property in Mexborough. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they report fully tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Whether your lease provides for a slush account for major works? You must be informed what constitutes a Nuisance as far as the lease is concerned

I bought a ground floor flat in Mexborough, conveyancing having been completed in 2004. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Mexborough with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2085

With 60 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations.
