Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Edith Weston I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Edith Weston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
