Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ashton in Makerfield

    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Ashton in Makerfield I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ashton in Makerfield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
