Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Leyburn I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Leyburn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. 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 at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
