I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Haslemere I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease.

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce 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 at least 2 years 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
