Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Wooburn Green I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wooburn Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
