I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Loxford I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Loxford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 about this matter.
