I'm purchasing a new build house in Fenny Stratford with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Fenny Stratford which have about 50 years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Fenny Stratford is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the property. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Fenny Stratford conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
