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 Ratcliff I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ratcliff in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
