I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Catshill I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Catshill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
