I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Totnes I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Totnes for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce 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 a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
