I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Thames Ditton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Thames Ditton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years unexpired on my lease in Thames Ditton. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the landlord. In some cases a specialist should be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Thames Ditton.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Thames Ditton conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
