I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in South Oxhey I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in South Oxhey suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated 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 may request that they start the process of the extension 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 consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
