I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Feltwell I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Feltwell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

It is also sometimes a condition of your lender where you are taking a mortgage.
