Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Rainford I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rainford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
