I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Duston I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Duston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension 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 regarding this matter.
