Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Chelmsford I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chelmsford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
