Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Charmouth I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Charmouth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
