I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Grasmere I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Grasmere suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer 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 twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
