Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Amesbury I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease.

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Amesbury. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and service invoices will be apportioned 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
