I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Perranporth I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Perranporth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 concerning this matter.
