I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Eccleston I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Eccleston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Eccleston where we see a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Eccleston conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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 to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is 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.
