If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Linslade conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not requires the buyer’s lawyer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions the majority will be willing to assist. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due.

Plenty Linslade leasehold properties will have a service bill for the upkeep of the block levied by the landlord. Should you acquire the flat you will have to pay this contribution, normally quarterly accross the year. This may differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal grounds. In all probability there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a large amount, say about £50-£100 but you need to check it because on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. Are there any major works in the planning that will likely increase the maintenance charges?
