I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Cranleigh I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cranleigh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
