Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Lincoln I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Lincoln for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Am I best advised to instruct a Lincoln conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities however his firm is located approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Lincoln conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Lincoln conveyancing solicitor just because they are Lincoln based.
