Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Wood Green I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wood Green 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 mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Wood Green. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Wood Green - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
