Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Plymstock I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Plymstock in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Is it really required? We have been stalled for the last month…

Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance cover.
