I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Lower Earley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lower Earley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
