Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Anerley I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Anerley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
