I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Bushey I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bushey suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
