I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in West Harrow I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in West Harrow for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in West Harrow - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
