I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Riddlesdown I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Riddlesdown for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
