I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Kingsland I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kingsland suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I am looking at a two flats in Kingsland both have about fifty years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Kingsland. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
