I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Selhurst I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Selhurst suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
