Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Ampthill I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Ampthill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I bought a flat in Ampthill last and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my told me that it can take over a year to register.
