I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Burnham I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burnham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
