Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Southwold I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Southwold in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

You would be well advised to take a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property was built over a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent issues and suggest further investigation if appropriate. Where there are any signs of material issues obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
