Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Aldborough Hatch I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Aldborough Hatch for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to 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 concerning this matter.
I have just started marketing my garden flat in Aldborough Hatch. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

My partner and I plan to purchase our first property in Aldborough Hatch. Conveyancing lawyer already instructed. The broker suggested that a survey is not necessary as the property is just 20 yrs old.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was built more than a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of material issues obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
