Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Fallowfield I like with open areas and railway 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 Fallowfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Fallowfield from the point of view of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Fallowfield can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives.
  • If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. 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 pay any arrears of service charge or settle 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 clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. A minority of Fallowfield leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.

    Where a Fallowfield lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the premises for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. The majority of Fallowfield leasehold flats will have a service charge for the upkeep of the building invoiced by the landlord. Where you acquire the apartment you will have to meet this charge, usually in instalments during the year. This can vary from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge to be met annual, ordinarily this is not a large figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you should to enquire as occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds. Is anyone aware of any major works in the planning that will add a premium to the maintenance costs?
