Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Peterborough I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Peterborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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 solicitor concerning this matter.
