I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Valley I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Valley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

The lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Valley has forwarded documents to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all properties in Valley should be registered?
The majority of property in Valley is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Valley conveyancing practitioners will be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty reigns the usual recommendation these days seems to be for the current owners to undertake the registration formalities first and subsequently sell - this can though naturally result in a significant delay.
