I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Hawarden both have in the region of fifty years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Hawarden is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the premises. For most purchasers and lenders, leases with under 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 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 Hawarden 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.

I acquired a house in Hawarden last 8/5/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my property lawyer told me that it may take 12 months to register. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
It is your property lawyer that you must contact in order to satisfy any concerns which have been raised as part of the registration formalities for your Hawarden property. Normal Hawarden conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s conveyancer that they will assist in resolving any requisition raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
