Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Easton I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Easton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I'm converting the mortgage on my existing property to a BTL loan with Britannia and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another house. The location we are talking about is Easton. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two banks and tie in the conveyances?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are approved by both mortgage companies. On the basis that they are your conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should have a chat with you lawyer and specify your expectations and requirements.
