I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Bearsted I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bearsted in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
