I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Broughton In Furness I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Broughton In Furness for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
