I chose a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Great Baddow last week. Looking through the Terms and Conditions I noteI am on the hook for charges even if the sale doesn't happen.

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that these deals generally do not cover outlay such as Great Baddow conveyancing search charges.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of flats in Great Baddow which have approximately forty five years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Great Baddow is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of buyers and mortgage companies, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. 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 Great Baddow conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending 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 the agreed 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.
