I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Mayfield I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mayfield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the 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 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Should I use a Mayfield conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can handle the legal formalities however her office is 200kilometers away.

They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were content that must trump using an unknown Mayfield conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
I am employed by a long established estate agency in Mayfield where we have witnessed a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Mayfield conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 purchaser.
