I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Stotfold I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stotfold for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
