I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Newton Ferrers I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newton Ferrers suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
