I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Blackwood I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Blackwood in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
