I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Walsingham I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Walsingham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Walsingham conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
