I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Ashford I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ashford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
