Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Heddon On The Wall I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Heddon On The Wall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
