I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Shepperton I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Shepperton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
