I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Axbridge I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Axbridge in this price bracket, 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 may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Axbridge. I have land on a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Axbridge where we have experienced a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Axbridge conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
