I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Long Ashton I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Long Ashton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Long Ashton. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you clear the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
