I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Rhymney I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rhymney suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage 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 current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Expecting to exchange soon on a leasehold property in Rhymney. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they report fully tomorrow. What should I be looking out for?

    What the implications are if you have violated the provisions of the lease?

I inherited a studio flat in Rhymney, conveyancing having been completed 6 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Rhymney with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083

With just 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £28,500 and £33,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my flat in Rhymney. As a result of poor financial planning I fell behind with remittance. I negotiated a payment schedule but there is still about £1750 outstanding at the current time.

I now wish to dispose of the property and I am panicking this may threaten to derail the sale if I have to settle the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this practicable?

It would be wise to speak with the lawyer undertaking your Rhymney conveyancing but one option may be to agree for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the buyers. The sale price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the arrears once they are the owners.
