Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Beckton I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Beckton 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 the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
