Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Saffron Walden I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Saffron Walden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If 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 not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
