I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Upper Walthamstow I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Upper Walthamstow in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 regarding this.
