I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Mawsley I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Mawsley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying 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 expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
