Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Whitnash I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Whitnash suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My uncle has suggested that I instruct his conveyancers in Whitnash. Should I choose my own solicitor?
