Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in St Clears I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Clears suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
