I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Porth I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Porth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
