Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Merthyr Tydfil I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Merthyr Tydfil for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
