I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Bedale I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bedale 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 may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Bedale. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Bedale - 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.
