I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Sneyd Green I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Sneyd Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Sneyd Green from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Sneyd Green can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. Some Sneyd Green leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Arranging a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Sneyd Green conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share certificate is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Sneyd Green leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such works. If you dont have the approvals in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in the first instance.
