I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Blyth both have about 50 years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Blyth is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of buyers and mortgage companies, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Blyth conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of property lawyers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked HSBC to supply me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
