Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Johnstown I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Johnstown suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
