I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Snettisham I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Snettisham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
