I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Prescot and Knowlsey I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Prescot and Knowlsey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
