Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Neath Port Talbot I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Neath Port Talbot in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
