I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Poplar I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Poplar in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

My fiance and I may need to rent out our Poplar basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Poplar conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Poplar do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see 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 permission.

I have given up seeking a lease extension in Poplar. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Poplar conveyancing firm who can help.

The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 101.61 years.

Are Poplar conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to issue clear conveyancing figures?

Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be regarded as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Poplar or beyond.
