I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Cubitt Town I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Cubitt Town for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. 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 can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
