I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Storrington I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Storrington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
