Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Grove Park I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Grove Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
