I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in West Byfleet I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in West Byfleet for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
