I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Blythe Bridge I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Blythe Bridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years unexpired on my lease in Blythe Bridge. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Blythe Bridge.

My hope is to purchase a garden maisonette in Blythe Bridge. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents. I was told today I was informed that the vendor must send the insurance documents for the flat above in addition. Why does my conveyancer want to see the insurance for the other flat?

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Blythe Bridge to discover Conveyancing in Blythe Bridge in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the whole block - which is clearly preferable. You should clarify with your lawyer but it would seem that your conveyancer is attempting to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance cover.
