I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Canvey Island I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Canvey Island for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

I work for a long established estate agency in Canvey Island where we see a number of flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Canvey Island conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.
