Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Sipson I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Sipson for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. 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 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Sipson where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Sipson conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
After months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Sipson. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Sipson conveyancing firm who can help.
