I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Goodmayes I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Goodmayes in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
