Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Holbeach I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Holbeach for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
