Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Eel Pie Island I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Eel Pie Island for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Eel Pie Island from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Eel Pie Island can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Eel Pie Island state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord consenting to such works. Should you dont have the consents to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer before hand. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your conveyancers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming process and slows down many a Eel Pie Island conveyancing transaction. If a new share is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
