I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Chandlers Ford I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Chandlers Ford 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 mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
