Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Peterlee I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Peterlee in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
