I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Saltash both have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Saltash is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Saltash conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

Developers have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've received an estimate from them. It's nearly £300 cheaper than my family Saltash conveyancer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they want exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancer is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Saltash lawyer.
