I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Debenham I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Debenham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
