I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Upton Park I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Upton Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
