There is not much else in Dorridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as usual because all rents and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
