I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Sowerby Bridge I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Sowerby Bridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
