I'm purchasing my first flat in Esher with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would impact my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Esher I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Esher suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Esher. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I am the leaseholder of a two-bedroom flat in Esher. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium due for a lease extension?
