Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Fairlop I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fairlop suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
