I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Ampthill I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ampthill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
