Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Burnopfield I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Burnopfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
