I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Hyde Park I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hyde Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I am looking at a couple of flats in Hyde Park both have about 50 years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Hyde Park. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
