Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Chipping Campden I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Chipping Campden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. 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 at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
