This is because developers in Jesmond tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Jesmond I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Jesmond for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
