If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Molesey you are welcome to attend to sign documents.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Molesey I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Molesey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
