I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Weston super Mare I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Weston super Mare for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 solicitor regarding this.

There are only 72 years left on my flat in Weston super Mare. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the landlord. For most situations a specialist should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Weston super Mare.
