Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in New Brighton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in New Brighton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
