Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in City of Darlington I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in City of Darlington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

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