Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Ossett I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ossett for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Ossett both have approximately 50 years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Ossett is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the value of the property. The majority of buyers and mortgage companies, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Ossett conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

My sealed bid on detached house in Ossett has been accepted, the owner does however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ossett. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland going with Bank of Ireland?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Ossett conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
