Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Budleigh Salterton I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Budleigh Salterton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer 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 twenty four months you may 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 matter.
