Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Shenley I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Shenley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Shenley both have in the region of forty five years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

Shenley conveyancing solicitors are familiar with conveyancing houseson unadopted roads. Your lawyer will review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners pay into to maintain the road.
