Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Silvertown I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Silvertown 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 home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
