I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Earls Court I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Earls Court in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to 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 regarding this matter.
