Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Potters Bar I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Potters Bar in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
