I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Goring I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Goring suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. 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 pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
