I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Machen I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Machen suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the 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 may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I work for a busy estate agency in Machen where we see a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Machen conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as 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 can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.

Is anyone aware of any major works in the near future that will increase the maintenance charges? Does this lease have more than 80 years unexpired?
