The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Brixton I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Brixton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Anyone can find documented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions resulting from investigations commenced on or after 1 January 2008. Go to Check a solicitor's record. To find details Pre 2008, or to check a firm's record, telephone 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 09.30 - 18.00 Tuesday.

I pay a maintenance fee for my flat in Brixton. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped behind with payments. The freeholders agreed a clearance plan but there is still a couple of currently outstanding.

I now wish to dispose of the property and I am worried this can jeopardize the sale if I have to discharge the arrears in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this viable?

Do clarify with the conveyancer carrying out your Brixton conveyancing but it might be possible to arrange for the arrears to be transferred to the purchasers. The purchase price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then deal with the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
