Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Poundbury I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Poundbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
