Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Valley I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Valley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years 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 current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
