I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Piccadilly I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Piccadilly in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Piccadilly. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned 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 subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
