Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Long Melford I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Long Melford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
