I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Thornton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Thornton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Thornton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would as all rents and service 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 subsequent invoice 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.
