Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Brighouse and Rastrick I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brighouse and Rastrick for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My husband and I may need to sub-let our Brighouse and Rastrick garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Brighouse and Rastrick conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Brighouse and Rastrick do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
