Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Otford I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Otford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Otford
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Otford conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
I’m about to sell my garden flat in Otford. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would as all rents and service payments will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I bought a garden flat in Otford, conveyancing having been completed August 2007. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Otford with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
You have 59 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
