I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Blythe Bridge I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blythe Bridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
