I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Robin Hoods Bay I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Robin Hoods Bay 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 remaining unexpired lease term may 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 proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on a terraced house in Robin Hoods Bay I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning theconveyancing prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
