I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Woburn Sands I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Woburn Sands in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

My husband and I may need to rent out our Woburn Sands ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Woburn Sands conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

The lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Woburn Sands do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.

I acquired a ground floor flat in Woburn Sands, conveyancing having been completed 6 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Woburn Sands with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2100

With 76 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
