Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Bishopsworth I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bishopsworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass 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 lawyer about this.
