Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Accrington I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Accrington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may 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 matter.
