I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Ruislip I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ruislip for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Ruislip. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would as all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
