Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Queensferry I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Queensferry in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing 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. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
