Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Irby I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Irby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Irby. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
