I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Hull I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hull suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
