I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Woodthorpe I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Woodthorpe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
My uncle has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Woodthorpe. Should I choose my own conveyancer?
