Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Hatfield I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hatfield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
