Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Ruislip Gardens I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ruislip Gardens in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
