I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Dersingham I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease.

If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
