I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have subsequently found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Penley. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Penley ?
The majority of houses in Penley are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Penley in which case you should be looking for a Penley conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’spermission to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your solicitor will appraise you on the various issues.
I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Penley, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

With just 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £23,800 and £27,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
