I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Whitland I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whitland in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold flat in Whitland. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Whitland who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

First contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Whitland conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
