Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Purfleet I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Purfleet in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
