I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Stokesley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stokesley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
