I can't really find anything else in Rawcliffe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months 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 solicitor concerning this matter.
