I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Tickhill I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tickhill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months 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 current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
