This is because new home sellers in Menai Bridge typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Menai Bridge I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Menai Bridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
