I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Moelfre I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Moelfre for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
