I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Hazel Grove I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hazel Grove in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign 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 lawyer regarding this matter.

I own a leasehold flat in Hazel Grove. Conveyancing was completed in five years ago. I have heard that I mustn’t let the lease length fall too short. What is the reasoning?
Hazel Grove domestic long term leases are for a prescribed term - normally ninety nine years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Hazel Grove were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than 80 years left to run. That may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to need leases to have at least 75 years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To maximise your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Please note that there are strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is less than 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
