I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Bosham I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bosham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
What does commercial conveyancing in Bosham cover?
Commercial conveyancing in Bosham incorporates a broad array of advice, supplied by regulated solicitors, relating to business property.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Bosham where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Bosham conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

How many years remain on the lease? Plenty Bosham leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service charge for the upkeep of the block set by the freeholder. Where you purchase the property you will have to meet this contribution, normally quarterly throughout the year. This may vary from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a significant figure, say around £25-£75 but you need to enquire as occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds. Please note if it is no more than eighty years it will affect the salability of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the premises for a couple of years before you are legally able to exercise a lease extension.
