I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Burnham On Crouch I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Burnham On Crouch suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
