I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Grange Park I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Grange Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Grange Park. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as usual as all rents and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
