Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Little Mill I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Little Mill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could 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 current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold apartment in Little Mill. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

A small minority of properties in Little Mill do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

    Make sure you find out if there are any onerous prohibitions in the lease. For example plenty of leases prohibit pets being permitted in certain buildings in Little Mill. If you love the flatin Little Mill but your cat can’t live with you then you will be presented with a difficult decision. Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for a couple of years before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension. Can you tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will increase the service charges?
