I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in West Derby I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in West Derby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, The Mortgage Works, and Barclays Direct all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the leaseholders benefit from control and although a managing agent is usually retained if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. You should be aware that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most West Derbylease extensions you will be required to have been the owner of the premises for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Who are the managing agents?
