I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Cowley I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Cowley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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.

Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
