Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Old St Mellons I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Old St Mellons in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
