Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Nottingham or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Nottingham will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Warrington.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Warrington I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Warrington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Warrington where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Warrington conveyancing firms. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
