I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Burscough I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burscough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
