Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Emerson Park I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Emerson Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.

It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors.
