I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Hoddesdon I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hoddesdon for this price, 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 will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension 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 solicitor about this matter.
