I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Barnoldswick I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Barnoldswick in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

What makes a Barnoldswick lease unmortgageable?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Barnoldswick. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
You may encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, The Mortgage Works, and Bank of Ireland all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.

How much is the service charge and ground rent on the flat? If a Barnoldswick lease has less than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most Barnoldswicklease extensions you will need to own the property for a couple of years before you are eligible to extend the lease. It is important to be aware if changing the roof or some other significant cost is due in the near future to be shared by the leaseholders and will dramatically increase the the maintenance charges or require a specific invoice.
