However, the law practices we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Lifton I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lifton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Lifton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
