I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Onslow Village I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Onslow Village for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could 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 existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
