I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Isle Of Wight I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Isle Of Wight in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 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 solicitor concerning this matter.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Isle Of Wight where we have witnessed a number of flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Isle Of Wight conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

You should be aware if it is less than 80 years it will impact the value of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for a couple of years in order to be legally able to carry out a lease extension. Can you inform me if there are any major works on the horizon that will increase the service fees? For most Isle Of Wight leaseholds the cost for major works tend not to be wrapped into the maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Isle Of Wight ask leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for major works.
