I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Barlestone I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Barlestone in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current 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. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
