Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Ferring and Goring I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ferring and Goring for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
