I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Glastonbury I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease.

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Glastonbury. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as you normally would because all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted 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 next payment date. Most management companies 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.
