I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Elmswell I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Elmswell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. 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 a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
