I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Pentre Halkyn I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Pentre Halkyn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price 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 could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
