Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Atherton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Atherton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
