Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Miskin I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Miskin suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Miskin garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Miskin conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Miskin do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Miskin, conveyancing was carried out June 1995. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Miskin with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2080

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
22 days into purchasing a house in Miskin. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on the salability of the property?
Miskin conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a adverse impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
