I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Addiscombe I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Addiscombe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
