I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in St Mary Cray I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Mary Cray for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
