I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Mawsley I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Mawsley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
