I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Suffolk I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Suffolk suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. 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 twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 about this.
