I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in North Acton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in North Acton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
