Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Bitterne I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bitterne suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
