Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Sandgate I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sandgate 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 may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated 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 start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
