I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in North Sheen I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Sheen for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce 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 may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

A small minority of properties in North Sheen do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
