Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in West Bridgford I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in West Bridgford 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 mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
