I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Penylan I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Penylan for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current 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. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
