Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Slade Green I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Slade Green 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 home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass 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 regarding this.
