I am attracted to a two flats in Goodmayes both have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Goodmayes is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the premises. For most purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property 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 Goodmayes 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. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. 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.

We have reached the end of our tether in negotiating a lease extension in Goodmayes. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

The vast majority of properties in Goodmayes should show up. Have you limited your search with simply the postcode. Ordinarily it will disclose all the premises inside the postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
