I'm buying my first flat in Brockenhurst with a loan from Barclays . The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Brockenhurst where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Brockenhurst conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process 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 start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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.
I own a basement flat in Brockenhurst, conveyancing having been completed September 2003. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Brockenhurst with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2078
You have 53 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
We own a leasehold flat in Brockenhurst. Conveyancing was finished in 2010. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to fall too short. Is this right?
Brockenhurst leasehold properties are for a set term - normally just under one hundred years when they commenced. However many appartments in Brockenhurst were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under eighty years left to run. That may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole require leases to have at least 75 years left to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing eighty years. To maximise the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also significant benefits to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is less than eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
