I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Langland I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Langland in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold flat in Langland. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Even though your previous Langland conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission from your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

It would be sensible to discover as much as possible about the company managing the building as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters such as the cleanliness of the common parts. Don't be shy to ask other tenants whether they are happy with them. On a final note, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the relevant party and specifically what you get for your money. On the whole the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the maintenance charges, although there some managing agents in Langland obliged tenants to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance.
