I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Waterlooville I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Waterlooville in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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.
