Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Binstead I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Binstead suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Binstead.

Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
