Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Keelby I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Keelby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
