I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Woodstock I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Woodstock suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
