I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Mudeford I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Mudeford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
