I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Chathill I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chathill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Chathill ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Chathill conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Chathill do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests 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.
