I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Whitechapel I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whitechapel for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may 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 current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
