I am looking at a couple of flats in Ongar which have approximately 50 years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.

Where a Ongar property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your lawyer would simply be asked to supply proof why the other owner is missing from the transfer, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing simpler for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased party removed from the title by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
