Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Church Stretton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Church Stretton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
