I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Edwinstowe I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edwinstowe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Edwinstowe. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Edwinstowe - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Edwinstowe - Sample of Queries before Purchasing

    How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? Best to be warned if window replacement or some other major work is pending to be shared amongst the tenants and could well materially increase the the service costs or require a one off invoice. If a Edwinstowe lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will probably need a lease extension at some point and it is worth finding out what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years before you are legally able to exercise a lease extension.
