Re: Help - First time buyer
I have no idea on leases I'm afraid
BUT I have a great deal of sympathy with anyone who is a first time buyer as it seems that in order to get on the property ladder its very hard now.
In order to get a decent mortgage rate my son/partner need to find a 20% deposit and whilst they are renting they have very little income that they an put to savings.
I have encouraged them to look at ISA tools etc for efficient savings and I guess the Bank of Mum & Dad will get called in to help but rents are so high for people who have to go with private rents because there is so little social housing about now

One thing that should be happening for you is that your Solicitor should be helping you with any pressure / demands that you need to deal with.
Solicitor should be able to explain lease legalities.
