I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Oakleigh Park I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Oakleigh Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected 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 solicitor about this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Oakleigh Park. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Oakleigh Park - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
