Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Mansfield Woodhouse I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mansfield Woodhouse suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
