Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Swanley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Swanley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated 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 may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
