Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Kingswinford I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Kingswinford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
