Many Keswick conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Keswick I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Keswick in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
