I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Barry Island both have about 50 years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Barry Island with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2089

You have 64 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £15,200 and £17,600 plus costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

The solicitors carrying out our conveyancing in Barry Island has forwarded papers to review that show the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at the Land Registry?

It is unusual for premises in Barry Island not to be registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Barry Island conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty exists the standard proposition nowadays seems to be for the current owners to register the title first and thereafter sell - this undoubtedly cause a drawn-out conveyancing.
