Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Yeading I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Yeading for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities 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 about this.

Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
