Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Arlesey I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Arlesey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 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 lawyer regarding this.
