I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Folkestone I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Folkestone in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
