Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in St Clears I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Clears suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a property in St Clears I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding theconveyancing in advance of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I am employed by a long established estate agency in St Clears where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local St Clears conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence 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 wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 buyer.
