Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Abertillery I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Abertillery for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
