I can't really find anything else in Burnt Oak 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 may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.

Even though your last Burnt Oak conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

Following years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Burnt Oak. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Burnt Oak residence is 20 Orchard Court Stonegrove in June 2009.
