My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Norton Woodseats

Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Norton Woodseats conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.

I am looking at a couple of apartments in Norton Woodseats which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Norton Woodseats is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the premises. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Norton Woodseats conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
