Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Pulborough I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Pulborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
