Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Epsom and Ewell I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Epsom and Ewell for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
