I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Watnall I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Watnall for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I inherited a studio flat in Watnall, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Watnall with a long lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2082
With 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £26,600 and £30,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My step-mother purchased her house in Watnall in 2008. She has got married, widowed and is now remarried. She wishes to sell the property in a couple of months. I believe she will simply be asked to provide a copy of the marriage papers to the conveyancing practitioner but she is anxious it will frustrate the house sale. Is it worth updating the title information for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence needed to show how the name change resulted.
The purchaser’s solicitor will review the land registry details and need evidence to establish the name change e.g. marriage documentation.
