Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Blackfriars I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Blackfriars in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Blackfriars. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as you normally would as all rents and service charges should be apportionedas 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.
