I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Stockport I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stockport suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
