I can't really find anything else in Grimsby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
