I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Rayleigh I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rayleigh in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
