Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Tenby I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tenby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce 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 at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I own a leasehold flat in Tenby. Conveyancing was finished in 2011. I have read on numerous advice forums that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too low. Is this right?

Tenby domestic long term leases are for a fixed term - usually 99 years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in Tenby were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching eighty years. To increase your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is less than eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to increase.
