I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Emerson Park I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Emerson Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. 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 a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you.
