I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Yiewsley I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Yiewsley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign 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.
