Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Seven Kings I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Seven Kings suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated 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 can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
