I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Blackwell I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackwell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

Even though your last Blackwell conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Blackwell, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Blackwell with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2092

With only 66 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £12,400 and £14,200 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
