I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Hexham I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hexham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
