I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Pattingham I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Pattingham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. 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 may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
