Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Fulford I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fulford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
