I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Countesthorpe I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Countesthorpe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension 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 regarding this.
