I am purchasing my first flat in Hayes with a loan from Barclays Direct. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Hayes I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hayes for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Most houses in Hayes are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Hayes in which case you should be looking for a Hayes conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the freeholder’spermission to conduct alterations. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your solicitor will advise you fully on all the issues.
