I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Bowthorpe I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bowthorpe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
