I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Ebbw Vale I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ebbw Vale suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
