I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Melbourn I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Melbourn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should 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 it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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 solicitor about this matter.

I have just started marketing my basement flat in Melbourn. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.

The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the lessees enjoy being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is frequently employed where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? If a Melbourn lease has less than 80 years it will affect the value of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have been the owner of the premises for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease.
Some weeks ago I was informed by my bank that their panel conveyancers operate no completion no fee basis for conveyancing in Melbourn. I had a purchase fall through nevertheless the conveyancers want search fees! They say the fees are nothing to do with their fees!
