Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Stoke Newington I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stoke Newington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
