I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Sheen Park I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Sheen Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
