Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Castleton and Blacktown I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Castleton and Blacktown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years 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 current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
