I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Victoria Park I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Victoria Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
