Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Borth Y Gest I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Borth Y Gest for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
