I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Mountain Ash I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Mountain Ash suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 about this.
We are in the middle of purchasing a residence in Mountain Ash. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on our home loan valuation?
Mountain Ash conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a significant effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your property lawyer.
