I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in South Shields I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in South Shields suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in South Shields.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process
