Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Cippenham I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cippenham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

My wife and I intend to buy our 1st home in Cippenham. Conveyancing practitioner has been selected. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not needed as the house is only 20 yrs old.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be enough. The report should highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues seek a full structural survey.
