I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Dartford I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dartford for this price, 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 likely be problematic. Reduce 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
