Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Bedale I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bedale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years 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 existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
