I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Underwood I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Underwood suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension 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 matter.
