I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Worksop I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Worksop for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities 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 matter.

Even though your last Worksop conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down.
