I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Chalfont St Giles I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chalfont St Giles 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 require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
