I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Yaxley I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Yaxley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I was pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Yaxley to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

My fiance and I may need to rent out our Yaxley 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Yaxley conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Yaxley do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
