It would be wise to enquire if the the lease includes any onerous restrictions in the lease. For example it is reasonably common in Welshpool leases that pets are not permitted in certain buildings in Welshpool. If you love the propertyin Welshpool yet your cat is not allowed to live with you then you have a very difficult compromise. Does the lease contain onerous restrictions? Where a Welshpool lease has less than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for 24 months in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension.
