I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Waltham Cross I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Waltham Cross in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce 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 at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I was pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Waltham Cross to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than another?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
