I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Consett I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Consett for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce 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 at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
