There is not much else in North London suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

North London conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address such questions most will be willing to assist. They are entitled to levy a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the charge is technically not due. In reality one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
