Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Beaufort I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beaufort for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the sale of our £200,000 maisonette in Beaufort next week. The managing agents has quoted £348 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Beaufort?
Beaufort conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often requires the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.

Who takes charge for maintaining and repairing the block? Where a Beaufort lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property. Check with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the premises for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease. Please tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will add a premium to the maintenance fees?
