I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Basingstoke I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Basingstoke for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
