I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Red Lodge I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Red Lodge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Red Lodge with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Red Lodge can be avoided if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Red Lodge charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Red Lodge. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a duplicate share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Red Lodge home move. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later. A minority of Red Lodge leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
