I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Ainsdale I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ainsdale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Ainsdale - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
