Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Alfriston I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Alfriston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected 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 commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
