I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Morden I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Morden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
