I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Lancing I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lancing in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
