Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in East Beckton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in East Beckton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I’m about to sell my garden apartment in East Beckton. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.
