I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Kearsley I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Kearsley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
