I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Lutterworth I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lutterworth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
