Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Pentwyn 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 Pentwyn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
