I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in St Austell I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Austell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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.

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in St Austell. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

How much is the yearly service fee and ground rent? If a St Austell lease has less than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the property. Check with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. For most St Austelllease extensions you will need to own the premises for a couple of years before you are legally able to extend the lease.
