I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Knighton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Knighton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
