Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Horwich I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Horwich in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Horwich garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Horwich conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

A lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will say if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Horwich do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.

    Best to be warned if window replacement or some other major work is due shortly to be shared by the leasehold owners and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance costs or require a one time invoice. The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the lessees benefit from control and although a managing agent is often retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Can you inform me if there are any major works anticipated that could add a premium to the maintenance fees?
