I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Walton I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Walton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may 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 consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
