I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Four Oaks I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Four Oaks for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
