Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in West Beckton I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Beckton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term 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 premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
