I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Blaenau Ffestiniog I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blaenau Ffestiniog for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I have been sourcing a conveyancing practitioner in Blaenau Ffestiniog for my sale. Is there any facility to check a solicitor's complaints history with the profession’s regulator?

I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your previous Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

Are there any major works in the near future that will add a premium to the service costs? Best to be warned if changing the roof or some other major work is pending that will be shared amongst the leasehold owners and will materially increase the the service costs or result in a specific invoice. The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the tenants enjoy control and although a managing agent is often employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders.
