I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Stratford I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stratford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
