I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Heddon On The Wall I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Heddon On The Wall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

You are free to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Heddon On The Wall. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
