I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in South Oxhey which have approximately fifty years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in South Oxhey. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

As a tenant I am liable for a maintenance fee for my property in South Oxhey. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell into arrears with remittance. The management company agreed a payment schedule but there is still around £3000 outstanding at the current time.
I want to dispose of the property and I am worried this can hold me back if I have to pay off the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and then repay the arrears from the proceeds - is this possible?
It would be wise to check with the property lawyer handling your South Oxhey conveyancing but it may be possible to agree for the debt to be passed to the buyers. The sale price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then deal with the fees post completion of the purchase.
