I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Faversham I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Faversham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
