Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Wollaston I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wollaston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Comparable properties in Wollaston with a long lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2086
