I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Byker and Walker I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Byker and Walker for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
