Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Aberbargoed I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Aberbargoed in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
